In French, reports wireless hypersensitivity, migraines and fatigue, reliance on a low-exposure area and …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
je suis hypersensibles aux CEM et autres rayonnements sans fils artificiels depuis leur invasion dans nos vies. j'ai 47 ans, depuis la création du wi fi, bluetooth, DEC, je ressens des oppressions cérébrales qui vont jusqu'aux migraines et une grande fatigabilité en leur présence proche, cela me vide. j'ai la chance jusqu'à présent d'habiter dans une zone quasi blanche ce qui me permet de survivre et travailler à mi temps. le développement de ces CEM est pour moi une grande atteinte au vivant; ce brouillard d'ondes est néfaste à nos vies et celle de toute la biodiversité. je suis capable de reconnaitre les avancées qu'elles ont permis, mais je rêve qu'une limite soit imposée. pourquoi certains pays préservent ils leur habitants et d'autres non? (la france autorise tout, l'italie a des seuils bien moindres...

Reports wireless sensitivity, palpitations and housing and travel difficulties, describes using wired int…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am sensitive to WiFi, Bluetooth and cellphone radiation and have had to reorder my life around avoiding it and minimizing exposure (it has a cumulative effect, so as long as my home environment has low levels of RF (wired Internet) etc., I can manage day-to-day exposures). If I hold my phone in my hand for too long, I feel electric charge build up in my arm and neck. If I have to use WiFi to complete a task, my whole body shudders when I turn it off. I get heart palpitations from these things, I sometimes can't be in other people's spaces. I've had to sleep in the car when sleeping at places with WiFi or I ask to unplug it. I always unplug WiFi at hotels. I have purchased products to mitigate exposures. I had to break a lease once because of it and had to sleep in the car during the dead of winter. This has been going on for over a decade and I've experienced that people don't believe me, so I no longer talk about it, but have gone to great lengths to structure my life in such a way to tolerate what I am exposed to. It seems like an issue with oxidative stress buildup. If there's anything that the government can do to regulate EMF pollution, everyone would likely benefit; not just the canaries in the coal mine. Non-human lives as well.

An association founder reports suicides and severe hardship among people described as electrosensitive, o…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am from Spain. My mother took her life in 2012 due to being electrosensitive, nobody knows what we lived. As far as I know, she was the first person to do so in my country. I was a founding member of the national electrosensitive association. Since then, five other members have decided to do the same. It is the most serious health problem facing humanity. Electrosensitive people are called the 'canaries in the coal mine.' Behind many health problems lies the cause of electromagnetic fields, but it is better to keep obeying the system, claiming there are no conclusive studies—the usual story, deception after deception, while there are people living an absolute nightmare, sleeping in cars, in the mountains, or even in caves to avoid the radiation. We are all electrosensitive; the difference is when affected people clearly understand the cause-and-effect relationship between radiation and their health problems, such as tinnitus, nosebleeds, extreme headaches, joint pain, arrhythmias, short-term memory loss, disorientation, burning sensations in the throat and ears, nervousness, irritability, and the pathologies of fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and multiple chemical sensitivity, all related to the central sensitization system. Are you going to do something about it, or are you going to keep looking the other way? This affects all of us, because we are all exposed to cell towers, Wi-Fi, mobile phones, smart TVs, DECT phones... I am available for anyone who wants to contact me to explain everything that is happening with this issue, which is already EXTREMELY URGENT. Through our association, we are in contact with many scientists, doctors, and affected people's organizations from all over the world. As Magda Havas says: '5G, the oncoming tsunami... This is my association: https://electroyquimicosensibles.org/

Objects to dense tower deployment, seeks lower-power devices and transmitters and greater separation from…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My concerns on my behalf as a citizen concerns here in los angeles I live in city of L.A. what I saw here is overwhelming these cell towers are everywhere not only that but also camouflage in any shapes and forms are also noticeable my big concern is that they put nearby churches, shopping mall, schools, colleges, parks, recreational, civic city, apartments, empty buildings are also sprouted by cell towers, commercial buildings, suburban areas, houses, and even power poles are also sprouted by many cell antennas, not only that but also in farms area too are also expose these emissions not only that but also water tanks towers are also erected cell antennas, the fake tress any kind surreal plant like trees are also unnatural to look upon them, but also broadcast by invincible microwave radiations non stop according to scientists and researchers are concerned by escalation of high chronic illnesses of any kind of symptoms or even psychological problems of human by induced by electromagnet radiations and according to some experts that our Schumann frequency our earth's beat natural pulses to calm our mind and well being is now compromised by heavily electromagnetic waves from cell towers or any kind of radio transmissions capable higher power to create a cascade effects to scramble and jamming our Earth's pulse natural healing frequency known the Schumann frequency that most fundamental to our human health and also for the 4G,5G, and soon the 6G are also close microwave frequency that using by radar that use on air traffic controller to reflect and deflect by bouncing emissions frequencies some story that the radar operator have symptoms and later on their lives has chronic disease or even cancers.My other concerns also in subway has so many repeaters of cell antenna on order to connect people inside the train but unbeknownst that overwhelmed of high exposed electromagnetic frequencies radiations. My hope is to reduce these power emmiter from celltowers on any shapes and forms and not too close by an Inhabitants of human beings is what statistically and noticeable by scientists and researchers that even on insects, plants, animals has also degredation of life's and caused cease off of basic of life indefinitely and imbalances and chaos which havoc of all life's as we know it. So, away as much possible these towers and must be not to the dwelling people, animals and even some of a trees has perish they too by a constant irrediated by harmful electromagnetic radiations. Not only that but also wifi that also harmful to humans when getting closer on it which is not safe, so must lower the output of power and reduce the emissions on that way, safer and health, my only concerns some regulations and private sectors don't have a regulations to cut off these excess power output of these emissions and if they follow the protocol procedure often they want to desire to ignore the law and continuing to non stop thus no enforcement to check individually antenna that scattered all over thousands of thousands of cell tower antennas. It must be a limit the tower antenna and relocate far away from people because too much celltowers seem obvious creating unbalance of all life's thus no harmony and no restore where should be. Another to implement is to lower the power output of cellphone I know they want more bandwidth and speed for transmission in order for demand consumers but sadly they don't care and aim more needed most so they can carry all over the places for a convenient. I believe some technology out there to reduce power output and to more carefree and health matters not to over expose them by some sort of radiation or to minimize it the better would come, I know they want technology to use efficient and more convenient accessable for everybody but must be implying also to limit the threshold not to over exploitation if only must be balance and reusable and efficient. In European nation they already implemented their laws to reduces tower and emissions from cellphone to celltowers which win win situations and more health consciousness that reflects in nature and people habitatants and if not fiber optics and land lines are the better high speed of Internet than wireless. Despite of overwhelming nowadays, the celltowers are everywhere must demand to reduce their infrastructure and put out of harms'away to the people even though they didn't know that they had been already compromised and later their lives has so many complications and illnesses mysteriously and can't explain and why, so many cases and statistically that already had answer but unfortunately never intending to the people but only a small fine letters warning that can't see what's warning all about, so instead of warning signs each devices has to be regulated and strictly low power output in that way more happy and happy specially to those people who suffering by radio radiations or also known electromagnetic frequency sensitive or EMF sensitive.

Attributes tinnitus to a smart meter and nearby 5G tower, raises concerns about phones and Wi-Fi, and cal…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
A few years back picked up tinnitus cuz in our previous home cuz it had a smart electric meter that we weren’t aware of not to mention a deadly 5G tower behind our property. Double whammy. This in addition to smart (stupid) phones and WiFi signals throughout house that emit dangerous to our bodies EMF’s. As representatives of the people you need to install safeguards and guardrails cuz utility companies and corporations don’t care just look for profit

Describes two friends’ reported electrosensitivity and personal symptom improvement attributed to commerc…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Dear Madams and Sirs, I never really worried about EMFs until 5G implementation happened, and even then, only knew that what we are exposed to is non-ionizing and the DNA should be fine, but the other effects only became clear to me when I made friends with two people who call themselves "electrohypersensive". They both told me that after 20 minutes to a few hours in a high Wi-Fi environment, their weakness, headaches, brain fog, depression would climb and they would have to leave to find "quieter" ground to recover. One friend, a 30 year old male middle school teacher, has lived in his car for several years to escape to low EMF areas and can barely keep a job. The other friend, a 65 year old woman, 3 years ago predicted her death in the next year because she knew she was getting sicker and sicker as 5G grew. Her number one complaint was a constant and severe feeling of dehydration. Water, electrolytes, gels, watery vegetables, nothing helped her. Three months later she landed in the hospital, and the doctors were flummoxed by how many saline bags they had to keep giving her for three days before she began her recovery. I can now definitely attest to my own bizarre symptoms that kept increasing over the past 7 or 8 years finally improving after, out of simple peace of mind, I purchase Blushield's C1 and Pi devices for creating "harmonious frequencies" for my cells to attune to, instead of the ambient, chaotic EMFs we're all exposed to. It took about 6 months for me to realize these intense vasovagal storms where my blood pressure would suddenly drop, I'd fall to the floor unable to get up for several hours, diarrhea, vomiting, and terrifying immobility had stopped. My health, energy and mood improved in numerous ways as well. Since owning these devices, I've come to learn from numerous sources, including PubMed, that our cells, the cells of animals, insects, trees are suffering in a multitude of ways like chronic dehydration, cells clumping and sticking, voltage gated ion calcium channels are being overrun by the more powerful EMF voltages, and areas of our DNA that are normally kept "silent" for our own protection are now activating due methylation and acetylation malfunctioning, allowing viruses and retroviruses to wreak havoc on our immune systems. With up to 70% of the American population dealing with chronic illness, our current and rising EMF exposure will only take us down the wrong road. I have read that Big Telecom could alter these fields so they are harmonious to cellular health and life, and still deliver the same things we've come to depend on, our cell phones, internet, streaming and more. Why we don't do is not up to debate. It costs money to change what's in place, but this review on how EMFs have been impacting us is at least a start. Thank you for reading! Sincerely, Asia Real, Newbury Park, California

Reports no known personal effects but distrusts existing regulation, criticizes thermal testing, raises c…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I don't personally have any known ill effects from EMFs, but I have to tell you that I have lost all faith all of the regulatory bodies. I do not trust that the correct studies have been done. The thermal tests are insufficient to show all of the effects. There are many anecdotal reports of effects on children in classrooms after wi-fi is installed and people getting brain cancer where they hold their cell phone. The safety signals are out there. We need to have a regulatory organization that is honest, transparent and works to regain our trust. Until then people will continue to distrust the government and the corporations who make decisions on what is or is not safe for us.

Reports severe electrosensitivity worsening after COVID, extensive spending on mitigation, inability to w…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I had a big, beautiful life before I started getting sick. I started getting all the random symptoms associated with EMFs in 2020 with the release of 5g. I didn’t know the cause of my symptoms until I got Covid in August of 2021. It was during my 3 weeks of being sick that I suddenly couldn’t hold my phone without feeling the energy it was radiating. It made feel like I was being punched in the gut followed by a laundry list of symptoms. Apparently, Covid threw me over the edge and all the symptoms I was already dealing with became 100 times louder. This started a chain reaction where I stopped being able to handle any EMFs. I can now feel and react to all cell phones, WIFI, bluetooth, wearables, general electricity, and the radiation coming off of people and things. I get every commonly listed symptom of EMF/radiation exposure and then some. I have spent endless hours researching and doing everything possible to improve my situation and ameliorate my symptoms. I have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to do things to safeguard my home, buying devices that were supposed to help, and endless protocols to help detox my body/calm my nervous system/etc.. All to no avail. I have been unable to leave my home for over 5 years (much longer if you include the Covid lockdown time from which I have never been released). Because I get sick from the radiation I feel coming off of people, I have to stay isolated. I have been incarcerated and in solitary confinement without ever committing a crime. I have been completely disabled and lost my ability to work, but disability coverage supposedly isn’t an option as this isn’t a covered disease/illness. I have lost almost all of my friends and family since I can’t participate in the relationships. Since most of them don’t understand or believe that their beloved technology is harmful, it has caused a rift in my relationships. If I was sick with cancer, people would be rallying around me with offers of help and support. This is not the case with electrosensitivity. Most want to be in denial that it’s an issue and it’s easier to just call me crazy than it is to own that these technologies are harmful and this can be a real result of their use. Somehow, it’s easier for people to believe that I wanted to give up my big, beautiful life in trade for isolation and suffering than it is to believe that our government would allow us to all be subjected to harmful frequencies. It is criminal that I should have to suffer to such a degree because of everybody’s addiction to these dangerous technologies. These non-native frequencies should have never been released onto the population. I have always been the canary type, which, in the end, is probably a gift as I am able to protect myself as best I can from these frequencies/radiation when the rest of the world is ignorant to their destruction. A few final notes: before I got sick, I used to notice that my dogs would move to the far side of the room every time I would pick up my phone. At the time, I realized they were reacting to my phone, but I didn’t have the conscious awareness or understanding of what it was doing to them or how bad it actually feels to be sensitive to these devices. I feel horrible now that I am having this experience that I subjected them to it. I can also tell the difference between houses that use hardwired internet and those that use 5g or satellite technologies. The ones that use these newer wireless technologies put off so much radiation that the entire neighborhood becomes loaded with it and I can’t go near it. I used to be able to walk my dog on different streets near me, but as people have changed their internet providers to these technologies, I have had to stop taking my dog any farther than just a few house in one direction before I have to retreat to my home.
 And finally, the release of 5g has drastically increased the amount of constant harmful radiation people are being subjected to 24/7. Because I have the uncommon ability/curse to feel radiation, rather than just the frequencies. I have experienced a progression in the last several years of accumulated radiation on people and objects. The change in the amount of radiation has been drastic from when I first got sick to now. It is scary to viscerally experience what has happened to our world with the release of these microwave technologies. They are lightyears more harmful than the previous generations and they have polluted our world more than anybody can imagine. 
 I hope this information is helpful and actually contributes to changes in policy as my life has been 100% destroyed by Big Tech and the US Government’s lack of response in protecting its citizens.

Argues that calcium-channel effects warrant long-term health research as RF exposure becomes denser, to i…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We know that radio waves affect cellular metabolism through calcium ion channels, and possibly other mechanisms. What we don't know is the long-term effects on human health. This is a huge topic because the RFenvironment that most Americans experience gets denser and more complex by the month. Let's do the health research so that we can expand cell service and wifi with our eyes open.

A retired nurse attributes joint pain to Wi-Fi, describes costly grounding-sheet purchases and perceived …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of a retired nurse. When I retired three years ago, my wish was to cut expenses as my income was fixed. I gave up cable TV as one of my monthly expenses that was very pricey. My cable provider provided WIFI I had always seen the " towers" and I knew that the phone companies used these towers and I never thought twice about their use. About 6 months after switching to WIFI, I began to experience serious joint pain. My knees, ankles and hips began to be an issue, not relieved with OTC pain medication. I started to read everything that I could on joint inflammation. I stumbled across something called Grounding. It was very ancestral...walking barefoot on grass, touching trees and foliage. I continued to research and came across "Grounding Sheets" I read that they were made especially for painful joints due to EMFs. They can be purchased over the internet. Unfortunately they are very expensive and it really is unknown their effectiveness over time.Not to mention that they aremade in CHINA The wire from the sheets are plugged in to the grounding hole on an outlet. I purchased and was truly amazed how effective they are .Unfortunately they do wear and in the past year or so I have purchased the sheets three times .I have actually thought about going back to Cable as it is the only way to .eliminate the extreme discomfort. The sheets are too expensive. Im hearing that the plan is to increase the wifi to 7G. If my joints are affected, what else is? Could be my brain. How about pregnant women? I'm looking for someone to come up with a solution about this very unknown situation
